BLANK have been featured on our second compilation "DisDURPance Vol.2". In the meantime the band has changed the name to BLANK PAGE
and now they are back with a new singer and a new bass player.

Their new self-produced EP "Second reality" is a big progress in nearly every way. The melodic progmetal of BLANK PAGE comes in good and clean sound,
features strong guitars, spacy keyboards, strong drive and great technical musicianship. Instead of losing track of their songs in useless
technical showcases BLANK PAGE stick to their strength ... and that's compact compositions with wide melodies. The CD starts with In between, which
will appeal to every "Images and words"-fan, but of course this is a typical BLANK PAGE-song ... typical melodies, soft elements, sophisticated
arrangements, hymnic bridges and lots of headbanging fun !Learning to forget is a bit more down-tempo than In between, but still it's a great track with freakin' bass guitar and a strange but
damn cool guitar solo. Useless of words starts as a melancholic ballad which you have to get used to for a while ... but the track smoothly shifts
into Second reality, starting with a great and furious instrumental fireworks with smashing double bass drums, great keyboards and of
course melodic and epic moments, but somehow I don't get used to the vocals lines on this track.

BLANK PAGE still are a secret hot progmetal recommendation, hopefully they won't dwell in the underground any longer ! If you would take together the strongest tracks of "Second reality" and "Surreal" then BLANK PAGE should be given a chance to record their first official album at a professional metal/progmetal label right now !
